A change will be made in The Robesonian’s staff on February first. Mr. Grover Britt, who has been local editor and business manager of the paper for the past 10 years, has accepted the position of editor of the Dunn Dispatch and secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and he will be succeeded on The Robesonian by Mr. Hal V. Brown of Fairmont.
Mr. Britt became known to Robesonian readers as “Happy Jack” by correspondence from Mt. Elim before he became connected with the paper, also as field representative. When an opening came he naturally stepped into it and has been with the paper ever since. He has been faithful, has done good work on the paper, steadily increasing in usefulness, and The Robesonian parts with him with genuine regret, wishing for him, and expecting him to achieve, success in his new field. Mr. Brown needs no introduction to Robesonian readers. He has for more than a year done good work as Fairmont correspondent of this paper and on special work occasionally. He knows Robeson county and its people, among whom he has lived all his life, and The Robesonian is fortunate, since it has to lose Mr. Britt, in securing to take his place another Robeson county young man who is fitted by training and ability to step into the position thus made vacant.
